One of the most common question that arises when considering hiring a cleaning service is, "How much does it cost?" Understanding the factors and cost breakdown that influence house cleaning prices, can help you make informed decisions about which service best fits your needs and budget.

Factors That Can Affect Cleaning Service Costs:

Type of Cleaning Service:

• The cost of cleaning services can vary depending on the type of service required. Basic services such as regular house cleanings typically have lower rates compared to specialized services like One Time Cleans, deep cleaning, post-construction cleaning or Move-In & Move-Out Cleaning.

Size of the Space:

• The size of the space to be cleaned is a significant determinant of cleaning service costs. Larger spaces generally require more time, labor, and resources to clean thoroughly, leading to higher service fees.

Frequency of Cleaning:

• Cleaning service providers often offer different pricing options based on the frequency of cleaning appointments. Clients opting for regular, recurring cleaning services may receive discounted rates compared to one-time or sporadic cleanings. Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cleaning schedules can affect the overall cost.

Level of Cleaning Required:

• The level of cleaning required also influences the cost. Basic cleaning tasks such as dusting, vacuuming, and surface wiping are typically included in standard cleaning services. However, additional tasks such as Carpet Cleaning, window washing, or appliance cleaning may incur extra charges or will affect the cleaning time.
  

Location:

• Regional factors, including the cost of living and market demand, can impact cleaning service prices. Urban areas or regions with higher living expenses generally have higher cleaning service rates compared to rural areas. Additionally, local competition among cleaning companies can influence pricing strategies.
  

• Customization and Add-Ons: Cleaning service providers may offer customizable packages or add-on services tailored to the client's specific needs. These add-ons, such as organizing services, eco-friendly cleaning products, or pet hair removal, can contribute to the overall cost of the cleaning service.

How does Goodyear Cleaning Services choose their pricing?

• Location: Typical cleaning services in Central Alberta can range between $60-120 per hour for two cleaners. Big cities or regions with higher living expenses generally have higher cleaning service prices.
  

• Charge: Cleaning businesses typically charge an hourly rate or a fixed rate that depends on the frequency of cleanings. When comparing both approaches we found that charging an hourly rate is more fair for our costumers, since you pay for the actual time we spent cleaning your home.
  

• Cost of Products, Equipments and Labour: When choosing an hourly rate we had to take into account the cost of labour, the cost of cleaning products, the cost of cleaning equipments, the cost of travel/fuel and the cost of insurance.
  

• Type of Cleaning Service: Different types of cleaning services are vary in cost. Basic and recurrent cleaning are lower in cost. Special cleaning services such as Move-In & Move-Out or One Time Deep Cleaning services cost more. Why? Special cleaning services require more labour, more equipments and more time.
  

• Customization and Add-Ons: Since we charge hourly rate, when you need extra service such as oven cleaning, you don't need to pay an extra charge for the service, however it will take longer to clean your home. There are only two times there is an extra charge that you will pay with our services. 1. If you book a Carpet Cleaning service, which has an additional charge of $80 for the equipment or 2. If you want us to purchase cloths specifically for your place, which has an additional one time charge of $60.
